Ericsson's and Nokia's software divisions are offshoring bodyshops at this point. They do the complex RF R&D in Finland, Sweden and Germany and the software/firmware is offshored to Eastern Europe and India.

- ptsneves 4y agoDiscarding Eastern European countries like Poland is a mistake. Says a person who sees the country consistently growing their foothold on the global IT market, often with customer satisfaction. Also says a person who is an immigrant to Poland and saw the sector boom in both size as well as international impact.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoI never discarded Poland and would never do that. Sincerely, an Eastern European. The thing with Eastern Europe is, it's still a hub for body shops mostly. Sure, there are also big names there working on cool products thanks to remote jobs and offshoring from the tech scenes of other major tech hubs like SV/London, etc. but most of the jobs are still body-shop style.
